The true nature of fear

Je tenais à partager ce passage d'un 'e-book' de Seth Godin qui est une compilation de textes d'auteurs divers. Ça vient chercher mes pensées sur le sujet, mais je n'aurais jamais pu le décrire aussi bien. Alors le voici :

“Have you ever wondered who’s behind that little voice in your head that tells you, ‘you’re in this by yourself, one person doesn’t make a difference, so why even try?’
His name is Fear. Fear plays of antagonist in the story of your life. You must rid yourself of him using all necessary means.

We’re often impressed by those who appear to be fearless. The people who fly to the moon. Chase tornadoes. Enter dangerous war zones. Skydive. Speak in front of thousands of people. Stand up to cancer. Raise money and adopt a child that isn’t their flesh and blood.

So, why are we so inspired by them?

Because deep down, we are them.

We all share the same characteristics.

We’re all divinely human.

Until Fear is gone, (and realize he may never completely leave) make the decision to be courageous. The world needs your story in order to be complete.”

-Anne Jackson

Alors continuons à monter la montagne de notre vie et à profiter du trajet plutôt que de se concentrer sur le but à atteindre. A chacun son parcours!

The power of ideas

An idea is only an idea until someone else (usually someone prominent) thinks it’s a good idea. In other words, ALL ideas are good. It just depends on how you can SELL the idea, and most importantly, how much YOU believe in it.
Think of all the Best Sellers that were turned down 14 times before getting published (I’m thinking of The Four Day Work Week for example). It’s not that the book wasn’t good (obviously, it became a Best Seller!) but the author had not found the right Entrepreneur to validate the content and believe in it as much as the author did.

So get to it! Develop your idea, expand on it and most of all, believe in it! Sooner or later, somebody else will too!
